About Brantley Gilbert

If Brantley Gilbert were a baseball player, he'd be toting around a batting average that would make other players in the league swoon with envy. His two albums have produced a combined five chart entries, three of which have gone to number one, and he's also the brain behind mammoth Jason Aldean singles "My Kinda Party" and "Dirt Road Anthem."

Suffice to say, Gilbert has put a ton of blood, sweat and beers into the career that's been steadily climbing an upward trajectory. He originally moved to Nashville as a songwriter, inking a deal with Warner Chappell Publishing, but has made a name for himself as a performing artist signed with Valory Music Co., a division of Big Machine Records.

Given the time to hone his craft, Gilbert has moved from his debut album, "Modern Day Prodigal Son" under an indy label to the sophomore follow-up "Halfway to Heaven" with Valory. Though the first was critically acclaimed, the latter found commercial success after spawning the No. 1 singles "Country Must Be Country Wide" and "You Don't Know Her Like I Do." He captured the ACM New Male Artist award in 2013 and rocketed into the New Year on the strength of a country staple – a catchy drinkin' song.

Gilbert's "Bottom's Up," the lead single from his forthcoming second Valory album, "Just as I Am," quickly became his third number one. It released December 16, 2013 and premiered at the top spot at Country Digital Songs with 60,000 downloads. By March 2014 it had moved some 738,000 copies in the U.S., and ascended to the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart the same month.
Gilbert's "Just as I Am" may be the most anticipated new album in country music, and the front half of his Let It Ride tour will play to 22 cities by May 18th.
